In the meantime, have you tried giving her a mirror buddy? That seems to be going well so far tiding my single hen over until she gets a new flock.

I haven’t...not a bad idea tho. Her run is close and within eyesight of the other 5 in their run..and she gets pretty much daily attention.
Ended up ordering the buff polish. We will also give her mucho attention while in the brooder as a solo chick, and a stuffed cuddle buddy or 2

Don’t get a hen older than her or she’ll be picked on.

Got a day old coming 4/26. She will be in brooder for a few weeks before moving in. And we will slowly introduce as she grows.
